The Daily News has received confirmation that five of Western Kentucky’s six verbal commitments for the 2011-12 basketball season will sign and fax their Letters of Intent to the school Wednesday, the first day of the NCAA’s early signing period.

Snipes (6-5 F, Marietta, Ga.), Gordon (6-3, G, Plainfield, N.J.) and Zollo (6-8, F, Winchester, Ky.) told the Daily News this evening that their plan is to have their letters signed and faxed Wednesday, while Leek’s house parent Sam Johnson said that Leek (7-0, C, Greensboro, N.C.) intends to do the same. George Fant, a 6-6 forward from Warren Central High School in Bowling Green, will have a signing ceremony at WCHS at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday and plans on sending the letter in after that. Zollo will also have a ceremony at George Rogers Clark High School on Friday.

The only one of the six that has not yet confirmed his plans for the early period is Bellflower, Calif. point guard Cezar Guerrero.
